Big Day Today!
I am so happy to officially announce The Traveling Medicine Show Festival being live-streamed on Sunday, May 23 at 6pm.
Over the course of the pandemic, both to stay connected and maintain my sanity, I have hosted a themed show on Facebook with a special guest called Ellis Paul’s Traveling Medicine Show. I featured some of the best songwriters in the country on the show every week and I have used themes during the shows to generate song selections for both me and the guest. These have always taken the edge off the pandemic for me— the songs often are travel-related and being joined by a friend makes the show like a chance to catch up in public...like we are riding on a ship to some destination and a group of people are listening into our conversation.
It’s been a great way to visit with friends, learn new music, and create a weekly touchstone for fellow musicians and fans alike.
To celebrate the one-year anniversary, I am hosting a multi-stage live stream festival featuring an eclectic group of legendary performers including Tom Rush, Willy Porter, Susan Werner, Vance Gilbert and more (check out the poster!) for a night of incredible music and stories! Tickets are quick and easy to get!
More on the Festival as we get closer to the date! The press release with all the details and ticket information is below! Certain ticket packages will receive a digital copy of this festival poster created and designed by yours truly:
I hope you'll join me on May 23!
